The Wayland-like Plums Described 183 



dots and a light white bloom, skin thin but strong, flesh rather 

 soft and juicy; stone small, cling; quality good. Hardy in 

 Vermont. The seed from which Worldbeater grew was 

 brought from near Nashville, Tennessee, in 1838, by J. H. 

 Tinsley. It was planted in Lincoln county, Kentucky, and the 

 stock transferred in 1849 to Clay county, Missouri. The 

 variety was introduced by Stark Brothers in the fall of 1890. 

 Very similar to Wayland, and perhaps identical with that 

 variety. 



YELLOW OREGON. Specimens received from Mr. B. A. 

 Mathews, Iowa. So far as can now be learned the variety is 

 hitherto undescribed. Fruit nearly spherical, small, bright 

 golden yellow with a faint suture line and many whitish dots, 

 skin thick and strong, flesh yellow and not very firm, stone 

 rather large, smooth, cling; quality medium. Inferior in size 

 and quality to Captain or.Cumberland.
